The downtube (the part that screams Specialized) is more of a sail and actually helps move me forward when I'm in a crosswind or even a headwind. I can literally feel it surge forward when the headwind hits it with a gust.

It also holds a water bladder (like a Camelbak), and has a drinking tube with a magnet that attaches to the aero bar so I can get drinks while tucked in for less drag.

It is ridiculously light.
